Embarrassing..

Me and one of my best friends, Haleigh, are going to try this Jillian Michaels 30 day shred work out DVD. In theory, we will continue this for 30 days. If she doesn't, then in theory I will. No promises. But in order to keep track of my progress (and to see if the damned thing actually works) I will be posting my weight, and measurements. On the internet. For everyone to see. However I will be greatly upset if I lose boob weight. I like my boobs, I don't want them to change any.
Also, these measurements are AFTER a full day of eating, and drinking water and such. Please don't judge me D:

Weight: (dare I say it?) 121 :( :( :( :(
Waist: 25.5
Hips: 36
Bust:32.5
Circum. of Thighs: 21 at the biggest point (I know most people wouldn't put this, but this is a big issue for me.

Wait, wait. It gets better, PICTURES!


I know, I know, I honestly don't have that much weight to lose. But I really need to stay in shape, I weigh too much (I don't care if it's from muscle, it bothers me) and my curiosity has been sparked. Without dance this summer, this is my was of staying fit.

Killing time again.

So I don't have to leave until 9, and I don't start work until 9:30. I'm opening with a manager I met breifly with on Saturday, but by the looks of the schedule, she's top dog. So I'm really nervous. What makes me more nervous is that I'm working with her, and ONLY her, until 1. Yep. Just two people. For almost 4 hours. Awesome. It certainly doesn't help that my sales were ultra-super low saturday. Even though it was mostly the clothes stealers fault, it still looks bad on me. Jeses I hope I never have to work with the clothes stealer again. But I have a feeling I will, multiple times. Unless they fire her for her attitude. Or continual breakage of dress code. Seriously. I know its a pain in the ass to wear three accessories at all times, but its not that hard to wear proper shoes at the very least. Or you know, not deniem shorts with flip flops to match. Really?
Ugh, enough about work, I'm freaking myself out and now my stomach hurts a lot. I'm using this TANtalizer lotion thing by Lorac, and I'm unsure if I like it or not. I think I do. It's just SUPER shimmery. I learned very quickly that a little goes a long way. Wow, it got awesome reviews. Maybe they'll sway me to buy it again. I think I'll wait to see if my skirt is ruined and then decide if I like it. A few people seem to have problems with it rubbing off on clothes. :/
Anyways, I need to go get dressed for work and brush my teeth. I'll still have time left but at this point I just don't know what else I would say to all 0 of my followers :)

Killing time before work

You'd think curling my hair would have taken long enough. But nope. I have to sit here and text haleigh and blog just to kill time before I can leave.
I'm not going to lie, as much as enjoy having a job, I'm sort of dreading today. After my failed Friday experiance, I don't really want to have to go through that again. At least I'm working with one of the girls I trained with. I feel so bad though, she really needs someone to cover her shift, and I really would have, but I have jury duty. :( I hope she found someone to cover it for her. I would feel awful if she didn't, it's for a school event. Maybe I could try, I just wish I knew when jury duty was usually over. I have to dress nice for it anyway, I wouldn't mind going straight from there to work, the courts even in Chandler.
So I'm really hoping Haleigh comes and visits me for my break. I'm going to be sooooo bored if she doesn't. It really does not take me 45 minutes to eat. It just doesn't. I mean, I do plan on going to Sephora and getting a blush and a lipstick, but other than that I don't really have much to do. Or you know, eat. I could do that during my lunch break. That would make sense. I guess I should just suck it up though. My friends aren't going to be able to visit me during every single lunch break. I could just wander, or see if Tony is working. Not that I particularly want to hang out with him. I just want company. I'm afraid of getting raped haha. Anyways, I guess I'll stop and make sure I have everything neccisary for work. Wish me luck.

I seem to frequently..

have issues with fitting in with people. Yesterday was my first "real" day of work (only picking up someones 4 hour shift) and it was not great. I was originally planned to greet/help people, and apparently I failed so badly at that within the first 20 minutes, that the manager came up to me and put me in the back steaming clothes (which I'm not going to lie, I enjoy doing) The manager was complaining about a smell that the clothes give off when they're being steamed, but I don't mind it. It smells like the costume closet in dance. But aside from that, I had a couple of sales just from doing the dressing rooms and such (the dressing rooms are right across from where I was steaming, I just left the door open and watched when people needed a room or was leaving. So I think I got at least $100 in sales. I think more goal was somwhere like $500-$600. Needless to say, I failed that. I wont get fired or written up over it, I just can't make it a habit. My next shift if 3-10 so that gives me more time at least. Also, my next shift is with another newbie that I trained with. Overall, wednesday will just be better. :) one can hope.
Anyways, Grandma is coming in town today, and I need to clean and go shopping before she gets here. I have dad's credit card for work clothes, and I need to take advantage of that while we still have the money. Off to go clean! D:

ps. apparently this is where Lucky likes to sit when I blog.

(please ignore my awkward hair and makeupless face. I just woke up)


hheheheh so cute:)

2nd day on the job.

Was easy, to say in the least. We didn't really do much other than read out of a handbook, and fill out quizes. Speaking of which, I have two homework quizes. For a job. Yes, that's right, my last day of high school is tomorrow, and yet I have a quiz due for work on Wednesday. A little intense. Oh well, I guess it prompts me to actually read the handbook. I'm a little nervous for my first "real" day. There's so much to do before I even start working. There are 10 steps that I need to memorize. I think it's one of those things that you just sort of memerize from doing it so much that it becomes habit, because I'm pretty sure that it's posted on the break room door. I'll probably study a little bit before Wednesday anyways. Look at me, such a good student.
I officially filled out my jury duty crap. Awesome. Most people get to go have fun on their first day after high school. Not me. Nope. I get to go to jury duty. Fun stuff.
Anyways, I need to look at my schedule one.. WAIT! What makes this jury duty so much worse is that not only do I have to go period, BUT I could have taken someones shift that Friday and made more money! a;sdkjf;askdfj Frustration. Anyways, I need to look at it one more time. I can't exactly remember when I'm scheduled on Wednesday.

Irritated

I get irritated easily. I can't even specifically say what made me so angry, but I know me and Michael were talking about something. I dunno, he's really frustrating sometimes. But good things that have happened today, I went tanning, played Mario with Haleigh, oh, and got $100 in the mail nobigdealoranything. :) My uncle Jeff sent it to me for graduation. I thought it was super nice of them to send me that much considering the last time I even saw them was when I was like 8. $10 for every year I haven't seen them? haha I ran to my little graduation pile and wrote him a thank you card and mailed it as soon as I could. I still can't believe they sent me that much. I saw who it was from and thought "oh, I'll probably get $10 at most, even nothing would be fine." Oh how I was wrong.
Well, Michael's on the phone with his aunt, and has been for the past like twenty minutes. I'm just killing time. Also, today was my last "real" day of school. Tomorrow is a finals day, even though seniors have to stay the whole time, and then friday I get out at like 12 or something. And then NO MORE HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! woooooo! I'm so excited to be done! And for Florida. Soo excited for Harry Potter theme park :)
Anyways, I need to get ready for bed and work on my dance compliments. :)

First Day of work :)

So today was my very first day at work. Exciting, no? It was mostly just reading the manual and filling out a "quiz" that the manager gave us all the answers to, and then we had like twenty minutes left so we actually worked during that time. I also asked off for Florida without issues, and they had scheduled me on my graduation, but I told her and shes like oh that's no problem and gave it to a girl I was training with who wanted more hours. So at this point I'm working Thursday, and then next Wednesday and Saturday. Woo a-little-over-a-hundred-dollar paycheck! haha it's not great, and I also don't know how much I'm making so I just calculated it at minimum wage. So far I love my job :) I'm sure there will be days where I hate it, but for now it's awesome.
In other news, Michael's hair looks pretty good, better than I thought. :) The only issue with it is that he has no idea how to style it, so I need to find a way to show him how to. He's iffy about it, but I think he'll get used to short hair. I would post a picture if I had one, but he hates taking pictures let alone right now when he's self conscious about his hair.
Anyways, Michael's back with Warm Delights, so time to go. I just thought I'd update for my grand total of 0 followers. :)


4 DAYS OF HIGH SCHOOL LEFT!!!!!! :D

Failing slowly

I am slowly failing at this. I try so hard to keep this up, and I'm always like, oh I should go post something just to stay updated. And then I think, oh wait, I with (insert name here) I guess I should wait until later. Then later never happens. Ah well.
Tomorrow is my first day of work :) It's only two hours since it's training, but I'm still pretty excited. Besides, it's nice to start slow and not be thrown into 10 hour shifts all in the beginning. I'm kind of nervous though, what if they don't think I dress well enough? I'll probably be a loser and post pictures of my first few outfits to work. I really only have three though, one of which I'm not even sure I can wear, and I'm working two days this week. Soo, I should really get on the whole "I need more clothes for work" thing before next week.
Also, Michaels getting his hair cut today (or tomorrow) Probably today though. He's FINALLY given in and is going to Madison Avenue, at least for the drastic cut. After that either I can keep it up, or he can go somewhere cheaper. I gave him Clare's card, so I hope he calls when they open, and I hope she has room to fit him in today.
He's going from this :
To this:

We'll see how that goes. I'm sure he'll look fine, but I have a feeling he'll be self concious about it for awhile. That and he'll have no idea how to style it. I guess that's where I come in.

5 more days left of high school!!!!!

Catching up

The background check cleared. I went in yesterday to fill out paperwork and stuff, and then was given the dress code. Holy crap, I have to buy and whole new wardrobe. Not to mention fourteen million accesories. I have to wear 6 pieces a day, shoes not counting. I have to wear at least 3 accessories, but I feel like if I only wear three it's going to be like Office Space, where Jennifer Aniston works. I can't wear jeans, not even nice ones, unless I wear heels and a nice shirt with it. I'll pass on wearing heels at a job where I'll be standing all day. But whatever, it's a good chance for me to update my closet, which I've been feeling needs it anyways. It's just hard to buy a bunch of clothes with pretty much no money. Mom's giving me $100, but wants $50 of that to be a JC Pennys gift card :/ I'm not really a fan of JC Penny. Whatever, I'll just buy a bunch of necklaces and stuff I guess. Anyways, I'm writing this before school since I feel like it's been awhile since I've last updated.

Mother's Day

So, I was at Haleighs for Mother's Day. I gave my own mom her flowers yesterday. I feel so bad for Kristy, losing her mom the wednesday before mothers day. I wonder how she's holding up.
I have a project to do tonight. Not a hard one, but it's still an inconvience. I just need to pick a quote from a book we read in english, then cut out magazine pictures that would make sense with the quote. Easy enough. Also, I really don't want to go to dance until Thursday. I love ballroom and all, but my partner not so much. He's really weird. And not weird like, me and Haleigh, but like legitimately creepy weird. a;skdfja;dfj I can't wait for it to be over. Maybe Michael can come in for the period and save me. I'm sure Ms. Pease wouldn't mind.
Also, Mom confirmed that with the background check, they'll only look at criminal records and stuff. Nothing about job history. So I'm a little less worried now that I've heard it from both parents, but I would really appreciate it if they would hurry it up now. I feel so bad asking for a day two weeks from now off, and then a week off about a month after that. :/ Hopefully they won't get pissed.

No more sleep?

Clearly my body is saying no to more sleep. I'm still tired though! Stupid body..
So my dad came in and informed me that my tire has a giant gash in it, and that I almost had a blow out. Note to Haleigh: apparently that's what that noise was. Also, I have to do something with the radiator..flush it out or something?.. I dunno. And I REALLY need my oil changed. Sooo expensive. And I'm still freaking out about that job/background check situation. I really don't even know what to tell them if they ask me about it. Beg to keep the job? I have no idea.
So at some point I need to go see my mom today, to give her my refill paper things, and to give her her mother's day present. It's just sitting on my dresser. Hopefully that goes well, no argueing or anything. I guess I'll ask her what I should do about the job thing. Although, she's probably going to be pretty pissed. Ah well, Dad told me not to put those jobs. Maybe I'll just tell Windsor that too, although it's not a very good reason. ak;sdfj;a I should have just told them. I really didn't want to do it in a group setting though, and I dunno, I'm just so nervous about losing the job that I really need.

Contact woes

Recently my contacts have been bothering me. I keep having to take them out halfway through the day, and wear my glasses until the next morning. Now, for some people this may not be strange, but I've gone two or three months without taking my contacts out (not even for bed. I just sleep with them in!) without problems. Ugh, frustrating. Anyways, went to school today, but I got called out for dance. I did this for two reasons, A) a felt bad making michael drive all the way back to school, just to pick me up. (I can't drive my car) and B) I really didn't want to deal with my creepy/annoying partner for ballroom. So I left. I can't drive my car because as I was driving to the hospital on Wednesday, my car started to overheat. Like, not even a millimeter from the red zone. So my dad told me to just go to the hospital, drive home, and then don't drive my car until we can get it fixed. However, I am allowed to drive to work if they still want to hire me. They're running a background check, and I kind of didn't put two of the jobs I had previously on it :x
Ah well, maybe they loved my wedding outfit so much that they will overlook those two little tidbits of information that I left out. Or maybe they're just looking for criminal records. I dunno, I just really hope I get to keep that job. I really need it.
So later today is the 5-6 show, which I really want to go, but I really don't feel like dealing with Klein. I will though. Haleigh's pictures are in it, and I want to go see. If Klein says anything I'll just nod my head and agree like a good puppet.
Anyways, I suppose this is long enough, so I'll stop now and probably make some mac and cheese.

So I'm deciding to try this again.

Today is May 6th, 2010. The day I decide to start keeping my life up to date on the internet for all to see. Yesterday Dani, one of my best friends since 2nd grade, lost her grandma. As dumb as it sounds, I'm sitting here at home missing school being mopey and upset over the loss of not even my own grandma. I dunno, however pathetic it may be, I've known her for the last 10 years of my life and I feel like I can be mopey and upset if I please. I'm not missing anything in school anyways. I visited her in the hospital yesterday, although she was unconscious still. It was easily one of the worst experiences of my life. It was so hard to look at the crazy, typical new-yorker helpless on a hospital bed. They pulled the plug at 7:18pm last night. It's so hard for me to think that I'll never see her again. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be for Kristy and Dani and their family.

On a happier note, and to get me to stop being upset again, I'm getting a little excited about moving. I can't wait to live in a house again, with my own room, own yard, etc. Not that I don't love my room now, but I just want the privacy of a house. It really sucks living an hour away from everyone though. We'll need to fix my poor car up a ton to prepare for all the driving I'll be doing back up to Tukee.

I still need to make my bed. It's such a pain, but it makes my room look so much nicer when its made. ... That took me all of what, 3 minutes? I hate being so lazy sometimes. I keep thinking, I should work out today. But about 5 minutes later I decide "oh, well I shouldn't strain myself, my head hurts." I wish I could be more motivated sometimes. So my *ideal* goal, would be to work out everyday. That hasn't happened. I've worked out two days in a row, Saturday and Sunday. Good job Ris!

a;werofjsd;fj Time to get my lazy ass up and moving

RIP Cora Johnson. You will be missed.
